SAC Week 3 Challenge

This week was a lot of fun. I listened to many kid songs as well as the suggested. I really liked focusing on a song that was just about feeling good. I thought about writing more mature lyrics with a happy go lucky feel to it like “Big Yellow Taxi” at first but than I decided to write lyrics that a child may write. I felt this to be more challenging for me. I wanted to have it child like but still be able to touch and relate to the older audience. I needed a topic that was relative to everyone at all ages. Having friends was my first thought so I stuck to that choice.
It was really a challenge to say all I wanted to say in only 15 seconds. To write the hook right at the beginning of the song and to keep the listener excited and involved for the remainder of the song was different indeed! I did my best to have the song not lose energy but still feel it had dynamics. It was like writing a full-length song with all the parts but each part only had seconds to develop and end. I hope you enjoy.

Here is “We Are Friends!”

We Are Friends (It’s you)

We are friends, our story never ends
We are friends, love to us we send
We are friends, our story never ends
We are friends,

Outside blue skies our colouring me
Everywhere, so happy, living life to be
Breath in the air, oh so sweet
Feeling so happy, skipping down the street

I’ll tell you why I feel such bliss
I’ll tell you why, it’s simply this

It’s you, cause we’re such friends
It’s you and the love you send
It’s you, cause no matter where I am
It’s you, I feel we are friends

We are friends, love to us we send
